Summary

Law schools and conventional career paths do not teach you how to find your ideal clients and build an ethical, productive, and successful law practice. Many lawyers struggle under pressures to perform for current clients and attract new ones. This can result in sacrifice of personal life, job dissatisfaction, loss of productivity, and even errors and omissions claims and regulatory troubles.

This webinar is about how to attract your ideal clients and grow your practice in a way that fits your life. It offers resources to help lawyers cope with stress and shares essential principles and practices that, once implemented, build a gratifying, productive, and successful practice -- without sacrificing your personal life. With this recipe for success, a legal career in the private sector becomes an opportunity for anyone -- regardless of gender or background -- to design your life your way.
